| Description of the problem | While toyota was happy to sell me a 2011 rav 4 in dec of 2014 with 18,000 miles on the odometer 3 months later when i had a problem with the brake system they were not as friendly. While waiting at a signal or a stop sign the brake pedal would fade to the floor. This happened time and time again. I called the local stealer ship and was told brakes are not covered under warranty. I feel this is a defect somewhere in the brake system. I have read on line of numerous rav4 owners with the same problem. Why does toyota refuse to fix this. |
